Warm-Up 1

This is the post to which you add your Warm-Up 1 task as a Comment (i.e. click on the Comment button below). When you add your Comment, don't forget to write your name on the post! You'd be amazed how much detective work I sometimes have to do to find out who actually wrote the comment!

Warm-Up 1 asks you to write a personal presentation for a web site. This is a general message that goes out to everyone who visits the web site of the new company you've just got a job with. I.e. it needs to be informative, but a bit general - and a good piece of advertising for your new employer. In other words, you need to show how smart your new employer is for hiring you!

You'll find a couple of useful links on the Warm-Up 1 page: one from the 'How to Do Things' site with some general advice, and an example of personal presentations from the Ericsson company.

You'll also find the 'Warm-Up 1 and Send-In 1' Podcast to be of help too.

When the Warm-Ups have all been marked and sent back (by me, David), I'll post a general comment in a post on this blog, with advice for everyone about Send-In Task 1.

We're up and running …

I've just made the Module links live, so you can start studying the course now.

You'll notice (from the Course Timetable in the Business Pages section) that you're working on a three week schedule: first a Warm-Up Task; then a Send-In Task; and finally a week off!

I'm going to try to get everyone's Warm-Up Tasks marked and returned in good time for you to write a Send-In Task which builds on what you learned from the Warm-Up Task.

Good luck - and we hope you enjoy the course!
